INTRODUCTION 


IN  PREPARING  this  book  of  designs  the  architect  has  endeavored,  in  selecting  his 
sketches,  to  cover  a  w^ide  variety  of  design  and   arrangement   of  the  recognized 
styles  of  domestic  architecture.     His  purpose  has  been  to  have  designs  possessing 
not  alone  artistic  merit,   but  convenience,   economy   in   planning   and   construction, 

comfort,  pleasing  and  harmonizing  detail  and 
color  effects.  Plans  which  have  symmetry 
and  are  so  arranged  that  several  rooms  may 
be  thrown  in  suite,  that  the  impression 
given  is  not  a  room  of  so  many  feet  length 
and  breadth,  but  of  several  rooms  grouped 
to  give  pleasing  spaciousness. 


No  one  but  an  unwise  person  would 
undertake  the  building  of  his  house  with- 
out an  architect;  because  he  is  building  his 
home  and  it  should  be  a  joy  and  satisfaction 
to  him,  not  a  constant  reminder  that  if  he 
were  to  build  again  he  would  have  done  it 
in  some  different  way.  It  should  be  a  house  whose  beauty  of  proportion,  elegant 
simplicity,  lighting,  heating,  ventilating  and  many  appliances  add  to  his  comfort 
and  pleasure.  The  author's  long  experience  in  making  this  branch  of  archi- 
tecture his  specialty,  enables  him  to  offer  those  interested  the  best  of  modern 
methods  of  design  and  construction. 

It  is  not  expected  that  any  one  of  the  designs  herein  illustrated  will 
always  cover  the  ideas  and  necessities  of  the  prospective  builder,  or  be  entirely 
suitable  to  the  location  and  landscape  of  the  particular  property  to  be  improved. 
In  presenting  them,  it  is  intended  to 
suggest  a  foundation  upon  which  to 
model  the  house  with  some  definite  idea 
as  to  arrangement  and  cost. 

To  those  desiring  a  comfortable 
and  attractive  home  in  the  country  or 
suburb,  this  portfolio  of  designs, 
''COUNTRY  AND  SUBURBAN 
HOUSES"  is  respectfully   presented.

INTERIOR  SUGGESTIONS 


Tl  n^  interior  affords  wide  op- 
jHirtiinity  for  pleasing  original 
effects,  the  successful  carry- 
ing out  of  details,  decorations  and 
furnishings.  It  is  quite  necessary  that 
the  selection  of  decorative  materials 
and  furniture  be  given  careful  study 
that  the  whole  interior  may  be  prop- 
erly harmonized. 

Where  stained  wood  work  is  de- 
sired, oak,  chestnut,  yellow  pine,  cy- 
press or  other  open  grained  woods 
should  be  used  to  obtain  beautiful  ef- 
fects. Birch  is  largely  used  for  stain- 
ing mahogany,  where  real  mahogany 
is  too  expensive.  For  painting,  white 
wood,  birch,  hazel  or  pine  is  generally 
used.  For  mission  finish,  stain  and 
wax    give     pleasing    economical     re- 


From  "American  Homes 


suits,  while  varnishing  and  rubbing  down  give  finer 
surfaces.  White  paint  may  be  finished  flat  or  enam- 
eled, although  flat  or  dull  enamels  are  largely  used  for 
softer  textin-es. 

Floors  are  perhaps  of  the  first  importance.  In  all 
houses  they  count  for  so  much  in  appearance  and 
finish,  and  at  the  same  time  have  the  greatest  wear. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  oak  has  stood  the  test  better 
than  any  other  wood  for  both  hardness  and  beauty. 
It  can  be  had  in  both  }i  inch  and  ]/&  inch  stock,  or  still 
better,  in  parquet  work  laid  by  mechanics  who  make  a 
si)ecialty  of  it.  Very  good  floors  are  obtained  in  North 
Carolina  (hard)  pine  and  maple,  the  latter  used  largely 


for  kitchens  and  pantries.  Floors  should  be  stained  to 
tone  with  wood  work,  but  not  nearly  so  dark,  then 
finished  with  filler  (also  flat  varnish  on  oak)  and  then 
waxed.  Such  floors  may  always  be  kept  up  with  a  lit- 
tle care. 

Wood  wainscotings,  cornices,  beamed  ceilings  and 
woodwork  of  this  nature  is  always  desirable,  as  it  adds 
greatly  to  the  richness  and  beauty  of  the  home,  and  in  a 
large  degree  helps  to  furnish  and  decorate  it.  Win- 
dow seats  are  useful  and  may  be  treated  as  boxes  or 
may  cover  over  radiators  which  would  otherwise  be  too 
conspicuous. 

A  dining  room  should  have  at  least  a  plate  shelf  and 
one  or  two  china  closets.  A  reception  hall  should  have  a 
seat  and  coat  closet  and  otherwise  be  made  as  attractive 


COUNTRY  AND  SUBURBAN  HOUSES 


as  size  and  conditions  will  allow.  A  fire-place  in  the  hall 
or  dining  room  is  not  desirable  unless  the  rooms  are  very 
large.  Living  rooms  should  be  designed  for  comfort, 
with  plenty  of  easy  chairs,  a  large  open  fire-place,  books 
and  book-cases  if  also  used  as  a  library,  good  light  and 
sunny  exposure.  It  is  also  desirable  to  have  this  room 
open  with  French  doors  to  a  veranda. 

Chambers  are  largely  finished  in  white  with  birch 
doors  stained  mahogany,  glass  door  knobs  and  delicate 
wall  decorations.  These  rooms  should  have  good  venti- 
lation and  ample  closet  room.  Outside  sleeping  rooms 
may  be  arranged  for  when  desired.  Bathrooms  are  in- 
variably white  and  white  eflameled.  Kitchens  and  pan- 
tries are  usually  stained  and  varnished,  but  the  best  mod- 
ern practice  is  to  paint  them  white  and  finish  with  enam- 
els, sometimes  varied  with  light  shades  of  blue  or  green. 

Wall  decorations  have  wide  range  for  selection  and 
should  be  chosen  with  great  care.  Kalsomine  tints  are 
used  for  ceilings  and  in  the  least  important  rooms  where 
economy  must  be  exercised.  There  are  excellent  wall  oil 
paints  giving  soft,  rich,  permanent  results  and  all  manner 

of  wall  papers  from  which  many  good  selections  may  be  made.  For  heavier  and  more  durable  wall  cover- 
ings there  are  burlaps  and  finer  cloths  of  similar  nature  in  many  beautiful  colors  and  finishes.  There  are 
Japanese  cloths  in  old  gold,  copper  and  changeable  colors  and  the  very  beautiful,  although  expensive, 
brocades  and  tapestries.  Imitation  leather  and  embossed  permanent  cloths  are  made  for  dadoes,  filling  in 
of  panels  and  for  rich  heavy  wall  decoration.  Portieres,  draperies  and  window  hangings  may  always  be 
selected  to  harmonize  with  the  decorations. 

USE  OF  PLANS,  DETAILS,  ETC.  It  is  an  easy  matter  to  build  a  satisfactory  house  if  you  have 
complete,  accurately  drawn  plans,  specifications  and  details ;  if  such  are  furnished,  the  architect's  charges 
will  be  repaid  several  times  over  in  the  kind  of  building  which  his  client  secures,  as  well  as  the  safety 
given  both  the  owner  and  contractor.  Both  will  understand  just  what  is  to  be  done  and  the  owner  will  re- 
ceive that  for  which 


he  pays.  Dupli- 
cate sets  of  plans 
and  specifications 
should  be  drawn 
for  each  building, 
giving  opportunity 
for  competitive  fig- 
ures on  the  several 
branches  of  work 
securing  the 
best  estimates,  com- 
puted on  exactly  the 
same  basis.  Each 
different  contractor 
should  have  a  set  of 
plans  to  push  his 
part  of  the  work 
expediently  to  a 
finish. 

Plans  and  details 
should  be  very  ex- 
plicit,    showing 


From  "Interior  Decorator" 


COUNTRY  AND  SUBURBAN  HOUSES 


clearly  every  detail  of 
construction,  and  the 
true  meaning  and  in- 
tent of  everything^ 
connected  with  the 
building-.  The  speci- 
fications should  give 
the  size  and  quality  of 
all  materials,  kind  of 
construction  required, 
explicit  instructions 
as  to  heating,  plumb- 
ing and  painting, 
general  duties  and  re- 
sponsibilities of  con- 
tractors.     This    is    to 

the    best      interests     of  '''■<""  "ImerUr  Decorator" 

both  the  builder  and  owner.    A  builder  of  good  reputation  will  insist  upon  everything  being  very  clearly 
and  definitely  outlined  before  undertaking  the  work. 

HOW  TO  CONSIDER  PLANS.  First  study  up  your  ideas  in  some  rough  way,  and  take  plenty 
of  time  to  satisfy  yourself  as  to  the  requirements  and  the  amount  of  money  you  wish  to  spend.  ■  These  details, 
with  a  full  description  of  your  property,  points  of  compass  and  such  other  information  that  you  may  think 
of,  send  to  the  architect.  Have  him  give  the  whole  matter  careful  study  and  make  preliminary  sketches. 
Probably  you  may  find  something  in  the  following  pages  that  will  meet  with  your  ideas,  if  not  entirely, 
with  a  few  changes.  Possibly  you  may  like  the  interior  arrangements  of  one  design  and  the  exterior  style 
of  another;  or  again  your  ideas  may  embrace  parts  of  several  of  the  designs;  state  these  as  fully  as 
possible  and  have  them  combined  and  embodied  in  a  preliminary  sketch. 

It  is  well  to  mention  here  that  the  architect  should  be  furnished  with  a  very  full  description  of  the 
site  upon  which  the  building  is  to  be  erected.  If  it  is  not  feasible  for  the  architect  to  personally  visit  the 
spot,  a  survey  of  the  property  would  be  of  great  assistance  to  liim. 


General^ Specifications  of  all  Designs  Illustrated 

EXTERIOR 


All  foundations  are  of  stone,  brick 
or  concrete  of  ample  thickness  and 
strcngtii,  with  cellar  bottoms  entirely 
concreted.  ]n  sandy  or  wet  soil  con- 
crete footings  should  be  laid  and  where 
necessary  waterproofing  of  some  na- 
ture employed. 

Frame  sidewalls  are  strongly  brac- 
ed, sheathed  and  covered  with  heavy 
paper,  or  ([uilt  felt,  and  then  shingled, 
clapboarded  or  covered  with  metal  lath 
and  cement  stucco  as  shown  or  spe- 
cified with  design.  Stone,  hollow  tile 
covered  with  stucco,  or  concrete  houses 
have  many  points  to  recommend  them. 

Roofs  are  strongly  framed  and 
shingled  with  best  gratle  of  shingles,  or 
sheathed,  felted  and  covered  with  tile 
or  slate.

disposal  outside  of  building  not  included  in  the  estimate 
city  suburban  localities  and  should  be  much  less  in  small 
not  so  high. 

Dimensions  are  figured  on  the 
floor  plans.  Ceiling  heights  vary 
according  to  requirements  of  the 
design.  The  dimensions  of  all 
the  designs  may  be  decreased  or 
enlarged  as  may  be  desired. 

The  above  specifications  are 
intended  to  cover  all  designs  in  a 
general  way.  The  descriptions 
given  with  the  designs  are  neces- 
sarily brief,  thereby  avoiding 
repetition  as  far  as  possible.  Tiie 
estimates  arc  sufficiently  high  to 
allow  for  the  carrying  out  of  in- 
dividual taste  and  ideas  and  to 
cover  the  cost  of  the  houses  com- 
pletely and  well  built  in  every 
detail.

brick  and  tile. 

All  designs  call  for  electric  wiring  and  bells, 
l.ut  do  not  include  lighting  fi.xtures,  where  a 
wide  range  in  selection  may  be  had.  The  in- 
stallation of  vacuum  cleaners  will  greatly  add 
Ui  the  convenience  of  the  home. 

Complete  hardware  of  suitable  selection  is 
[jrovided  for  and  included  in  the  estimates  for 
all  designs,  a  very  important  part  of  the  build- 
ing. 

The  interior  finish  includes  painting  or  stain- 
ing and  varnishing  of  all -woodwork  but  does 
not  include  plaster  wall  decorations.  The  lat- 
ter is  usually  taken  care  of  under  separate

If  You  Have  a  Fireplace 

YOU  CAN  SECURE   FOUR    TIMES   THE    USUAL    AMOUNT    OF   HEAT   BY    USING  A 

Jackson  Ventilating  Grate 

These  grates  each  heat  two  or   more   rooms  on  one   or  different   floors   in  severest   weather 
and  in  Spring  and   Fall,   this  one  open  fire  will  heat  and  ventilate  the  entire  house. 

If  You  Have  no  Fireplace 

you  can  secure  the  effect  of  the  ordinary  grate  by  using  a 

MAYFLOWER  OPEN  FRANKLIN 

These  Franklins  are  direct  copies  of  old  Colonial  Franklins  and  are  very  attractive. 

IF  YOU  WANT  MANTELS   OR    OTHER   FIREPLACE   FIXTURES,  we  can  supply  all   the   latest 
and  best  designs  at  the  lowest  manufacturers'  prices 


Separate  Catalogs  show  the  Ventilating  Grates,  Mantels,  Tiles,  Franklins,  Andirons,  etc.     Send  for  the  ones  that  interest  you

MOTT'S  PLUMBING 


1912 


Would  you  have  a  bathroom  com- 
plete in  its  appointments  but  without 
great  cost? 

Plumbing  Fixtures  that  are  attrac- 
tive, sanitary  and  durable  are  shown 
in  our  booklet,  "Modern  Plumbing" 
No.  5.  The  prices  are  extremely  mod- 
erate, considering  quality  and  design. 

A  copy  of  "Modern  Plumbing'' 
will  be  mailed  at  your  request — you 
will  find  it  suggestive  in  arranging 
plumbing  equipment.

Screen  Economy 
and    Satisfaction 


Did  you  ever  get  real  satisfaction 
from  buying  on  the  "how  cheap"  principle? 
Haven't  you  always  been  disappointed — hasn't  it 
always  cost  you  more  in  the  end? 

Roebuck  Screens  give  satisfaction — we  guar- 
antee this — because  they  are  made  throughout  on 
the  "how  good"  principle. 

Roebuck  Screens  have  a  record  of  over  fifty 
years  for  superiority  of  construction,  durability 
and  satisfactory  service  to  users. 

The  frames  are  of  thoroughly  seasoned  lumber 
finished  to  match  the  woodwork,  and  made  with 
mortise  and  tenon  corners — the  best  construction 
known. 

We  use  the  Clinton  Wire  Cloth  Co.'s  Pompeiian 
Bronze  Netting,  as  it  will  not  rust  or  corrode.  The 
netting  has  16  strands  of  wire  to  the  inch,  is  double 
crimped  and  will  positively  keep  out  mosquitoes. 

Made  to  order  to  meet  your  particular  require- 
ments and  with  absolute  satisfaction  guaranteed. 

Roebuck  Screens  will  outlast  the  building — the 
only  kind  good  enough  for  your  home.  Our  New 
York  factory  insures  prompt  delivery  when 
needed.     Send  for  booklet  and  samples.

If    you     have    gone    to    the 

trouble  and  expense  of  a  nice

should  make  it  your  personal

Ninety-Six 
Years  In  the  Hardware  Business 

We  are  the  oldest  dealers  in  hardware 

in  New  York  City,  our  line  covering 

all    grades   from    the    highest    to    the 

cheapest  which  are  "  Fit  for  Use  " 

A  prospective  home-builder  should  always  be  urged  to  base 
his  selection  on  a  careful  inspection  of  samples,  and  to 
select  the  best  for  his  purpose,  rather  than  the  cheapest; 
we  invite  critical  inspection  of  our  goods  as  the  best  means 
of  demonstrating  their  superiority. 

We   would   suggest  that  you  consult  one  of  our 
experts  on   Builders'   Hardware  when  contem- 
plating the  building  of  a  new  home.
